"Oh, so you're just listing one by one the losses you feel from my presence here. Let me reimburse you for everything that makes you feel at a loss because of me," I said confidently.I knew that I had just received a money transfer from Malisa, and my intention to compensate for Roby's losses was a way to show that I appreciated everything he had done.However, I also realized that our relationship needed to be structured so that there wouldn't be any feelings of mutual detriment. I hoped we could find a good solution for both of us.Roby looked skeptical, "Oh, you always talk like that without any proof, Rico. I'm tired of hearing your empty chatter that never gets realized," he said, dismissing my statement.I felt the need to emphasize an important point. "Stop calling me that name," I said firmly. "You might slip up in public when mentioning my name. I've told you, call me Eric! That is my official name recorded in the civil offic

Eric’s POVAs I explained each step and provided clear details, I could feel Roby starting to believe. He listened intently, and gradually, the doubts in his eyes began to fade.Finally, with a thorough and comprehensive explanation, I succeeded in convincing him that my situation was indeed real and not just empty talk. This was an important step toward gaining his trust and improving our relationship going forward.Roby nodded and said, “Oh, so that’s how it is, and that’s how you were able to get money from Malisa again. Looks like your brain has gotten smarter and sneakier, huh, Eric?”I smiled in response to Roby’s comment, feeling a bit relieved that he finally believed me. However, suddenly my phone rang. It was a call from Lina. I immediately got up from my seat next to Roby, feeling my curiosity spike.“Wait a minute! Lina is calling,” I said to Roby as I moved slightly away from him.“Yeah, go ahead and answer it! It might b

Eric’s POVRelief surged through me. With the borrowed motorcycle and money in hand, I was ready to go. After making sure I had all the necessary items, I stepped outside, feeling the fresh night air. The calm surroundings made me feel more confident.I rode the motorcycle at full speed, my mind filled with curiosity about Lina's words and overwhelming worry for Serena. I didn’t care why this was happening; I just wanted to get there quickly.Finally, I arrived at the place where Lina and Serena were. With quick steps, I roughly opened the door, the sound of wood hitting the frame indicating my impatience. Every second felt tense as I rushed in, trying to find Lina in the crowd.When I saw Lina, she hurried toward me. We met in the middle of the room, and I could see the concern on her face. Without wasting any time, I asked, “What’s going on? What just happened to Serena?”I held both of Lina’s upper arms, creating contact that showed how ser

Eric's POV In the midst of the tension, I saw Serena lying weakly. Her face was pale, showing how critical the situation was. Lina, who was supposed to act quickly, remained silent, confused and unsure of what to do. Frustrated by the ticking clock that kept ticking away, I felt time passing very slowly. Every second was precious, and every minute could be a matter of life and death.Without thinking too long, I stepped forward. Formulating a quick plan in my mind, I decided to take Serena to the hospital. Swiftly, I lifted her helpless body, trying my best not to jostle her. Anxiety engulfed me, but my determination to save her life was stronger than that fear."Lina, why didn’t you take her to the hospital before I got here? You could have called an ambulance to come and pick her up," I said, feeling annoyed with Lina for not doing anything to ensure Serena's safety. "Eric, I was afraid. I was just waiting for your decision because I was scared of

Eric's POV When I announced my decision, Lina's reaction was unsurprising. She looked shocked and anxious, firing off a series of bewildered questions. A part of me understood her fear; transporting Serena on a motorcycle in such a critical condition was indeed risky. Yet, I couldn't let fear hold us back.In my mind, time was the enemy. We couldn't wait any longer. With newfound determination, I began prepping the motorcycle, hoping this was the right choice. Lina might have been hesitant, but I knew we had to act swiftly. Every second mattered, and Serena needed help immediately."Yes, this old motorcycle, of course with Serena!" I replied tersely, feeling no need to elaborate on Lina's numerous questions.Lina still frowned, clearly confused by my decision. However, I confidently gave instructions for a comfortable seating position for both of them. Quickly, Lina adjusted and followed my directions without much protest.The urgent situatio

Eric's POV We hurriedly walked, my steps feeling heavy as I carried Serena's body. Although I tried my best, worry clouded my mind. Lina followed closely behind, her pace quick and filled with anxiety.Every second felt precious. We prayed for this to end well, hoping the medical team could quickly provide the care Serena needed. Our unease increased as we approached the registration desk, the place where new hope could emerge. "Excuse me, sir, how can we help you?" the officer at the registration desk asked, ensuring we had a purpose.Lina, who was growing impatient, responded with a slightly snappy tone, "Can’t you see?" Her voice was full of emotion, reflecting the tension and anxiety we felt. I intervened, trying to calm Lina, who was getting emotional because the registration officer was so slow and too formal. I was clearly carrying Serena's weak and bloodied body.I felt the pressure in the air. Although Lina was trying to protect S

Eric's POV I tried to divert Lina's attention from the anxiety gnawing at her mind. In difficult situations like this, it’s important to see the positive side. Serena, in her current state, could be a strong reason to soften Malisa's heart. I believed Malisa would easily send us some money if she knew how urgent our situation was.Although Lina seemed skeptical, I was convinced this was the right step. Malisa was a good friend of ours, and she always showed kindness when we were in trouble. We just needed to convey Serena's condition clearly and honestly.My smile grew wider as I imagined Malisa's reaction upon hearing the news about Serena. Maybe she would feel moved and send help right away. We couldn't just sit back and hope everything would be fine. We had to take action and find a way out of this problem.I tried to reassure Lina that we had options. We were not alone in facing this issue. Together, we could find a way to get the help we needed.

Eric's POVI thought that maybe Malisa still hadn't had time to check her phone, so I needed all the patience I could muster to wait for a response from her. In the silence of the room, filled only with the ticking of the clock, my mind drifted towards Roby. He always had a way to help, even if sometimes in unexpected ways.I weighed the option of borrowing the money I had previously lent to Roby. It felt so heavy to ask for help, especially in this situation. However, I had to be pragmatic. Serena needed immediate care, and the down payment had to be made without delay. Besides, our basic needs—gasoline and food—could not be ignored either.As I recalled Lina's tired face waiting, despair weighed down on me even more. With renewed determination, I took my phone and began typing a message for Roby. Every second felt like an hour. I remembered the moments we shared, when Roby was always there during difficult times. Although I knew it wouldn't be easy to co

Eric's POV Every word I spoke felt like a hope I was planting, and I hoped Roby could feel it. My feelings were mixed, between the fear of rejection and the hope of getting the help I desperately needed. "I really need that loan right now. Because Serena has just been admitted to the hospital, and I’m in a bind because I don’t have the money to pay the initial costs. If I don’t pay now, Serena won’t get a hospital room and won’t receive any further medical care," I explained in detail.This explanation came from my heart, bringing forth all the anxiety and fear that had been buried within me. Each word felt heavy, but I knew I had to express it so Roby could understand my actual situation.Despair enveloped my mind, and I hoped Roby could feel the urgency in my words. This situation wasn’t just about money; it was also about Serena’s safety and health. I tried to hold back tears, focusing on the hope that Roby would understand how important this help was to me

Malisa's POV With full concentration, I continued my journey. The road felt familiar, and each second brought me closer to the long-awaited meeting. Finally, I arrived at my destination.Seeing his house, I was shocked. It was small and looked a bit shabby, far from my image of Roby's home. I couldn't believe my friend lived in a place like this. Memories of the past raced through my mind—how Roby was always cheerful and full of spirit, even though his situation now seemed different.I got out of the car and began walking toward his house. It looked inhabited, but it appeared neglected, making me feel a little disgusted. The peeling paint and the yard filled with weeds added to the gloomy impression.

Malisa's POV "You clearly wouldn't know Roby; when he was our neighbor here, you were still very young. Let me talk to the caller; give me the phone!" the mother said, asking to speak to me directly.It seemed her child had handed the phone to her. The mother's voice began to greet me on the line."Sorry, ma'am, are you indeed asking about Roby's whereabouts?" the middle-aged woman asked me."Yes, of course, ma'am. Sorry for disturbing your time with your family. Let me introduce myself, I’m Malisa," I said, starting to introduce myself.This straightforwardness made the atmosphere feel warmer. I could sense sincerity in her voice, and my hope rekindled. The woman paused for a moment, perhaps reminiscing about past memories related to Roby."Wait, your name sounds familiar. Are you one of those famous people in this country?" the middle-aged woman asked, as if trying to remember something."Oh, you must be mistaken. A name l

Malisa's POV I quickly explained the situation I was facing. “I’m looking for Roby, and I’m having trouble getting information about him. I need your help to find out more, maybe through your friends or your network.”Mariana listened attentively, noting every detail I described. She has an incredible ability to connect people and find information in unexpected places. I felt relieved knowing that I wasn’t alone in this search.“Now you go to the place where I used to go to school. I will send you the address via text. Go to the operator and administration section to inquire about the student profile data from my cohort. You can focus on Roby's personal data,” I said in detail, ensuring all steps were clear. “Once you get that, you can trace his address and go there.”Mariana listened intently, absorbing every piece of information I offered. “Okay, Mrs. Malisa, I will carry out that task immediately,” she replied, ready to proceed. Her enthusiasm made

Malisa's POVMariana determined that Roby was the key player in this matter. The realization of how important he was left me feeling confused about where to search. However, I was confident I could find him through my other friends, especially those who had gone to school with us. It seemed unlikely that among all my schoolmates, none would have maintained contact with Roby.I began to think that at least one, if not more, of my friends must still be in touch with Roby. Perhaps they knew his whereabouts or even had his latest address. This information was crucial for my upcoming efforts. Yes, I needed to contact my friends one by one to keep this confidential and ensure my plan went smoothly.With a resolute determination, I opened my contacts list on my phone. The names there reminded me of various memories, both sweet and bitter. I began to formulate a plan to reach out to them, selecting those I thought would be most likely to help. Each message I compo

I couldn't slack off in this effort. My spirit burned brighter; they had to face the consequences of their actions that ruined my life. Taking my child's life in vain was something I could not forgive.Every step I took would be filled with determination.

Malisa's POV "So far, I've obtained Lina's track record and background. It turns out Lina had a husband, or rather, she used to have one," she said, deepening my curiosity about the direction of this conversation. My curiosity intensified as Mariana began discussing the information she had gathered. I listened carefully as she explained Lina's personal data. Surprise after surprise emerged as Mariana revealed that Lina indeed had a husband, or more accurately, had once had one.This information was truly intriguing.
